Does energy efficiency affect ambient PM2.5? The moderating role of energy investment [PDF]
Frontiers in Environmental Science. 2021, 9, 2021 The difficulty of balance between environment and energy consumption makes countries and enterprises face a dilemma, and improving energy efficiency has become one of the ways to solve this dilemma. Based on data of 158 countries from 1980 to 2018, the dynamic TFP of different countries is calculated by means of the Super-SBM-GML model.

3D Structure-guided Network for Tooth Alignment in 2D Photograph [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Orthodontics focuses on rectifying misaligned teeth (i.e., malocclusions), affecting both masticatory function and aesthetics. However, orthodontic treatment often involves complex, lengthy procedures. As such, generating a 2D photograph depicting aligned teeth prior to orthodontic treatment is crucial for effective dentist-patient communication and ...

Efficiency statistics of a quantum Otto cycle [PDF]
, 2021 The stochastic efficiency [G. Verley et al., Nat. Commun. 5, 4721 (2014)] was introduced to evaluate the performance of energy-conversion machines in micro-scale. However, such an efficiency generally diverges when no heat is absorbed while work is produced in a thermodynamic cycle.
